It also causes stupid trouble for those of us that travel alot, or split time between countries. SMS 2FA is my sworn enemy.

- jimkleiber 6y agoYes, so much this. I want to be more secure but don't want the solution tied to my American phone number. I've even thought of getting a dual-sim phone just so I won't get locked out of my accounts when abroad and using a local sim.
- m3nu 6y agoStarted to use Google Voice everywhere after telling my bank about it. They were OK, as long as they can call it from a landline. So I can slowly move away from SIMs. Virtual numbers from providers like Twilio, Plivo or Signalwire help too. They have 2FA mostly and couldn't be SIM-swapped (I hope). Google account security is quite good too.
- tehlike 6y agoI am afraid of google killing it eventually. I wonder if there's an alternative. Interestingly, Google Voice is now part of gcloud, so there might still be some hope for it.
